Is milk permeate powder vegan?

Milk permeate powder is a versatile food ingredient that is derived from milk. It is made by removing the protein and fat from fresh skimmed milk through a process called ultrafiltration, leaving behind a high lactose content milk permeate. This liquid is then spray-dried into a fine powder that has a slightly sweet taste and a light creamy color. Milk permeate powder is commonly used as an economical way to add milk solids and lactose to food products such as baked goods, soups, and sauces. Additionally, it can improve the texture and mouthfeel of many processed foods while reducing manufacturing costs.
